Ridiculous. I'll order a cup of tea and be served a live fox.

I think it is a good idea--Roses for Autism found that by giving people on the spectrum to try their hand at a wide variety of jobs, they often were able to find something they were good at. Some of them even turned out to be good at jobs requiring social interaction, like telephone sales. They also found that it was essential for everyone to practice social interaction. Everyone has to eat lunch together. No eating alone.
